InstallAware

I am trying to get around a problem that occurs on some test machines when files are in use. The normal installation (i.e., you install the software on a vrigin machine with nothing running) works like a champ. It installs the services and launches the small app to configure some parameters that I can't do in the installer. But if there is a need to reboot, the PC reboots but the app never gets launched. How do I set the installer to run the program after a complete install and it needed to reboot?

The run program line is right after the TODO: place code to run your app here.

Naturally, since a reboot ends the setup program as well as the entire system, there is no way to run the program after a reboot.

You may want to check out "RunOnce" in the MSDN library
Here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/DevInst_d/hh/DevInst_d/install-over_6345fe15-9f40-4f74-8bb1-390d85b15aca.xml.asp

Well actually there is a workaround on that..
You can check if the InstallAWARE is going to reboot, and edit the RunOnce registry key under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion, so the programm will only run once AFTER reboot, and then windows will remove the entry from your the registry.. I hope this helps.
